The EQ6 has shipped with a variety of greases and washers over the years. Teflon is the more current practice from what I can gather.

The thickness of the thrust washers above the worm drive on the Dec, only seem to change the gap between the collar and the mount.

Don't go overboard on different sizes. The ones that came out of the mount were all identical sizes. 0.25mm I think. The kit I bought came with 0.1mm 0.2mm and 0.3mm sets from what I remember.
You're right about the washers above the worm drive but bear in mind that if the spacing of these isn't correct the collar will jam against the mount (as I figured out when I removed a washer from below and forgot to put it in above the ring gear.
